New Exam Pattern: What to Expect

AIMA has streamlined the MAT pattern for 2025, making it a more concise assessment of management aptitude. Aspirants should note that while the content remains similar, the number of questions and time duration have been reduced.

Section Name	No. of Questions	Marks
Language Comprehension	30	30
Mathematical Skills	30	30
Data Analysis & Sufficiency	30	30
Intelligence & Critical Reasoning	30	30
Economic & Business Environment*	30	30
Total	150 Questions	150 Marks

Note: The "Economic & Business Environment" section is not counted for the final composite score calculation, but many institutes use it as a separate filter for admissions.

Final Countdown Checklist

Reporting Time: Most centers require candidates to report by 8:30 AM for a 10:00 AM start. Late entries are strictly prohibited.
Mandatory ID Proof: Carry one original government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN Card, Voter ID, or Driving License) along with the admit card.
Stationery: Even for the CBT mode, it is advisable to carry a blue/black ballpoint pen for rough work (sheets will be provided at the venue).
Marking Scheme: Be cautious of the negative marking! Every correct answer yields +1 mark, but every wrong answer results in a -0.25 mark deduction.
